Yoshiharu san is a very nice and experienced guide. Thank you!
Thank you very much for such a nice word. I am looking forward to working with you.
Yoshiharu is a very good guide. He was our guide in and around Nagasaki. He is very professional. Nagasaki is a very sobering experience and he made the tour very educational. Every step of our tour ran very smoothly. The timing was good with enough time to see the sights and still get to the next destination. All in all Yoshiharu is a very professional and personable guide. We can highly recommend him.
Thank you very much for such nice comments. It was a really nice meeting and I had a great time taking you around some areas of Nagasaki with your party. Arigatou gozaimashita (I really appreciate that)
Spent 1.5 days with Yoshiharu early June. Displayed great knowledge of areas visited. Amended tour schedule to exclude areas I had visited on my first day. Very happy.
Thank you very much for your comment and good evaluation. I hope that you enjoyed the stay in Kyushu and it would be great if my guiding helped you somehow to understand Japanese culture and Japan. Arigatou gozaimashita. (Thank you again!)
Our tour with Yoshiharu was outstanding. He was clear, easy to understand, very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Yoshiharu was very personable and accommodating throughout the booking and touring process. We would highly recommend using him again
I really appreciated your comment and high evaluation. It was such a nice meeting with your party. I hope that they enjoyed the tour and short stay in Nagasaki. Please convey my words to all members. Thank you very much. Arigatou gozaimashita.
